Does ABS shrink?

ABS does have some shrinkage post extrusion, but it is a fraction of a fraction of a percent, so you won’t even notice it.

  • Can the 3Doodler pen use conductive ABS plastic?

    We haven't had the time to test conductive plastic yet, but another way of doing this would be to use conductive paint with your 3Doodles. As we have mentioned elsewhere, 3Doodler pens should only be used with filament approved by us. Use of other materials not approved by us may result in damage to your pen or injury to you, and will unfortunately void your warranty.

  • Which plastic should I choose? ABS or PLA?

    For those who are new to plastics and want maximum flexibility with their 3Doodler we suggest starting with ABS and then experimenting with PLA.

  • What about the toxicity of ABS and PLA plastics?

    As far as we are aware, neither plastics are harmful in the form provided, nor in the use-cases (and temperatures) applied using 3Doodler pens.
